House Sitters available (Hume, Victoria)
Our House Sitters list for all Australia is below. To view a list of house sitters willing to house sit in your area please use the drop down menu.
When filtering by State, you may see sitters from other states listed as well. That’s because those sitters have nominated they are willing to house sit in more than one state (some have chosen all Australia). They are all candidates for positions in the selected state.
We save you time. Replies from house sitters you contact can sometimes take a while and when they reply you may find your location and timing doesn’t suit their schedule. This means contacting house sitters one at a time can be a drawn out process. When you choose to contact a house sitter with us you will be asked to list your needs and when you do, available house sitters for your location and dates will be contacting you within hours.

We are a recently retired professional couple who live in an apartment on the river on the edge of the Brisbane CBD. While we love our city life, and have lived in our apartment since 1999, we also love spending time in rural and regional Australia. This may stem from the fact that we were both brought up in towns in regional Queensland.

Very quiet and love being in nature, just enjoying my own company. Love all animals especially dogs and prefer to stay in quiet areas with no annoying loud neighbours or barking dogs. That said, I do have 2 assistant dogs that are fully trained and very well behaved and go every where with me. Very rarely left at home alone. We are a little unit and I adore them both. Read more
